I believe that you want GSMT (the "T" is for T-Mobile) but either may work (I only see GSMT for the 512MB plan). Just check the coverage map if you are choosing a plan that doesn't say GSMT to ensure the coverage matches the T-Mobile coverage map.

Actually, reviewing this, I think that so long as you have activated a GSMT sim the options that they will give you are T-Mobile specific (this shows for my account):

I purchased and activated a RedPocket 4G Sim.

What APN carrier settings do I use in the Audi?
Everything I've found online for RedPocket lists AT&T settings.

Found the answer to my own question,,,,

I loaded the SIM card into my 2014 Q7, and by the time I found the settings in the MMI, it had pre-configured itself.

For reference, it set the APN to: m2m.t-mobile.com
Blank user & password
Normal authentication.

Thanks for the tip of RedPocket, now I can drop the extra AT&T account I was using for my Q7

Pick the 1gb and you should be good - all of the options in the image I posted previously should work.

I did the same for my 2014 A6, same settings and when I try to access Audi Connect it says a data connection cannot be established.

Tried taking it out and putting it back, tried changing APN to wholesale but no connection.

Any advice?
